What are you substituting the oil with? What kind of recipe? You couldn't use butter for the oil in salad dressing. Sometimes it does matter what kind of shortening you use.
5/12 of a cup of oil
If you are substituting oil for butter in baking use about the same volume.
Canola can substitute 2 sticks of butter by using 16 tbsp of oil. For every 1/4 cup butter, use 4 tablespoons vegetable oil.
How much oil will substitute for 8 cups of butter
Melt the butter & measure the amount it needs. If it needs 2/3 cup oil, use that much melted butter.
Half a cup of melted butter is the same as half a cup of crisco. -Except it will taste better.
10.56 tbsp 1 cup = 16 tablespoons 1 tablespoon = 0.06 cup
They will be very dry and unpleasant, but, you can substitute unsweetened applesauce for oil or butter in brownies. A tasty, healthier solution to your problem.
You can safely substitute liquid oil for solid shortening in baking ONLY if the recipe calls for the shortening to be melted first. You can substitute butter or margarine for shortening ( 1 cup + 2 Tbsp for each cup of shortening). You can also substitute 1/2 cup applesauce or prune puree for each cup of shortening.
Yes, but it will change the consistency. Pudding makes for a much heavier cake. Rule of thumb use 1.5 as much pudding as you would oil. If the recipe calls for 1 cup of oil, use 1 and a half cups of pudding. Conversely if the recipe calls for 1 cup of oil only use 3/4 cup of oil. You can exchange at a 1:1 ratio but that could cause it not to be "oiled" enough.
NO. Oil and shortening do not work the same way in recipes for breads, whether it is rolls or biscuits.
No, they have almost nothing in common. You can use many different vegetable oils instead of corn oil, sunflower oil for example. If you don't have light corn syrup, substitute 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. If a recipe calls for dark corn syrup, use 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup water.
